The 白龍刀 — Hakuryū-tō is a visually striking katana, inspired by the mythical White Dragon, a symbol of wisdom, strength and celestial protection in the Japanese tradition.

Description
The Hakuryū-tō combines classic Japanese symbolism with modern craftsmanship, creating a katana that stands out in any collection. Its 1060 steel blade offers reliable strength and a clean edge, enhanced by an elegant engraved dragon motif — a tribute to the legendary White Dragon rising through the heavens.
The alloy fittings show traditional dragon depictions in black and gold, reinforcing the celestial theme of the sword. The tsuba is carved with ornate detail, while the fuchi and kashira complete the set with refined finishes inspired by classical Japanese metalwork. The saya is covered in a deep black lacquer and decorated with a superb mother-of-pearl-style dragon chasing the sacred pearl, giving a luminous, high-end scabbard.
The long tsuka, wrapped in tight black ito, provides a stable, balanced grip, making the Hakuryū-tō an ideal piece for both display and practice. Every detail — from the flowing engraving of the blade to the radiant artwork of the scabbard — reflects a harmonious combination of tradition, strength and elegance.
Buying a sword in the UK
Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.
Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.
Care
- Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
- Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
- Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
- Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.
